Day 83 was my final year of university project. I was the lead charachter rigger, rigging up the large tank alien and smaller alien. I also did a small facial set up on the medium sized alien as well as help the development of the story process.
Here's the final film of Day 83 (C) Aled Matthews & Joseph O'Connor.
This is the small alien I worked on. Skinning and rigging were quite straight forward as the limbs and overall structure of the model were thin.
The Tank alien (largest) I wanted to experiment with Maya Muscles to give the deformation a bit of character. This is just a quite view of what I was trying to work with.
For medium alien I used Maya's rigging system but I had to manually skin all the joints to the mesh (hence the deformation test) There's also a close up of the small facial rig I made.
